Anyone Tried the Churro Milkshake at the Counter

I read about it on some L.A. Blog last week and I can't get it out of my HEAD!!! Please tell me it's the most vile thing on the planet... I am not a fan of the Counter's burgers... but I MUST have this milkshake!!

I can imagine they might use a special 'paste' or a very finely processed churro. They do okay with their apple pie milkshake (Which is also just HEAVENLY!) with just enough ice cream and just enough apple and graham cracker crust bits to fit in a straw and still be just a wonderful surprise...

It's not a churro paste, it's a real, live churro. The chunks were pea-sized to quarter-sized, and no, they don't go through the straw. But you do get this really amazing blend of vanilla and cinnamon. Then you can eat the frozen pieces of churro on their own. I was surprised it was so good, actually, and I think I'll have to go back for another one.Here's the blog post: http://www.losanjealous.com/2007/06/0...

If they don't sell it anymore I think a poor man's version can be had by just stopping at Costco's food stand. I had churros with the soft serve vanilla ice cream a couple of times. Never occurred to me to tear pieces of the churros and dump them in the ice cream, but I would think that's similiar effect.

Ooh, good idea! Only thing is, the churro you get at Costco is warm, and the churro mixed in with the milkshake is nearly frozen. The Costco version would be like a warm brownie sundae. I'm going to have to try this.
